As the third-largest country in Western Europe, the Kingdom of Sweden is a long, narrow nation that lends itself to a variety of landscapes—lakes, waterways, mountains and glaciers cover 70 percent of it. Stockholm, the country's capital, is located in the Northern region. It encompasses fourteen interlocking islands and is considered a walker's haven. This progressive metropolis also offers a vibrant and creative urban scene filled with cultural hot spots, historic attractions and more movie theaters than any other city in the world. Where the Nobel Prize committee is headquartered, you'll delight to discover Djurgarden Park, the king and queen's palatial residence, a 24,000-island archipelago and a smorgasbord of restaurants.
